New Noynoy Ad

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

Have you seen presidentiable Noynoy Aquino’s new political ad? It’s cute and almost as catchy as Manny Villar’s “nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura” thingy. And funny cause who would have known that Noynoy has a “talent” — i mean he did rap there.. lol. The cutest, however, is Baby James’ appearance at the end of the ad — much like him endorsing his tito — just as Kris endorsed her dad many years ago.

They say among all the presidential aspirants, it is only Noynoy who is the true “opposition” candidate. He has integrity, and his promise not to “steal” is big — cause nobody had made that claim yet. But that promise might haunt him if ever he become President — that’s if he, if ever, would not stay true to his promise.

Anyway, lately we’ve been talking at the office about taxes — and quite true, whatever we do, we are taxed. We are taxed when we earn — like 30% of our earnings, and then we get taxed on each and every little thing we do. Buy something and we get taxed… arghh.. I just hope we get something more from the taxes the government is getting from us — like free hospitalization (free insurance quotes/services), free education, free burol? — just like in Makati. Hehehe.

Noynoy and the Kris Aquino Controversy

January 17, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

It’s almost impossible not to pity Noynoy… because it seems that whatever his younger sister Kris does, he would be dragged into it.

Which makes me think about what would happen if ever he becomes president? Will he be able to manage the country well with controversies about his sister coming in left and right. It’s not that she really causes them — but she’s a famous celebrity and some people could just make things up about her, and people would instantly believe, but still.. what would Noynoy do, if ever this happens?

Anyway, on a non-related matter, anybody knows the side effects of conjugated linoleic acid? I heard it is a good antioxidant and helps fight cancer and has health promoting properties. The only thing I read about it that I do not want is that it burns fat, cause i need to gain weight. lol.

Gibo Ads versus Rico Blanco

January 13, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

Did the Gibo camp really used Rico Blanco’s song without permission? — Posible! lol.

It sounds funny if you put it that way but it is no laughing matter, really. Also got this one from the news, and thought why would they air it, spend money to begin with on production, if they did not ask permission to use the song. It’s like a no-brainer.

But as it turned out, Rico Blanco seems to be unaware if ever there are contracts made between his camp and presidentiable Gilbert Teodoro. There were reports that the Gibo team paid Rico Blanco’s former manager for the Posible song… but things are still being sorted out now. Warner Music wants the ad stopped, but i say, it is still on-air… Someone’s gonna need some humidifier filters, stop the “airing” of the ad…

Am sure there’s a way out of everything..

Posible!

10 Years Expiry for Marriage

January 13, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · 1 Comment 

When I first heard about this one on the morning news, I was like “What?!?!”

I mean, why would anybody want to impose an expiration date on something blessed as a marriage? Is it not a sacrament?

The woman who came up with the idea argues that it is for those who are abused, who are in a rut as far as their own marriages are concerned… But if you are being beaten to the core, would you wanna wait for 10 years because by then the validity of the “marriage” would be kapoof”? Wouldnt it be best to seek help from others the moment or before it happens, seek therapy to make things better?

I dont know.. Maybe people have to clue me on this… to me, marriage is something to be worked on — to perfect through the years… it’s not like okay i got pregnant, let’s go wed, and have honeymoons at cancun hotels… it’s all about finding that one person with whom youll be spending the rest of your life… for better or for worse.. for richer, for poorer… till death do you part… not til ten years, then let’s just renew it… so we could marry someone else… and then we’ll wait another ten years.. omg.

I like what Anthony Taberna said.. it’s something like, pray that you will be blessed with a wonderful, perfect partner, and with faith — you will be given just that…. and for sure, you would wanna spend your whole life with that special someone.

Love and faith…
